Just a request here, did anyone on this ng
experience this? If so what was it like where you lived? I was living in
Australia at the time and missed it.

My recollections are that it was a total non-event in this part of the
country.
Mr Fish got it spot on for us.
For a 13 year old weather enthusiast the TV coverage from the south east of
England was interesting / exciting though. The Sevenoaks-minus-six story
particularly sticks in the mind. But quickly it became exaggerated into the
"greatest storm since 1703".
Perhaps the most expensive to hit our shores, but Scotland had a more
powerful storm 18 months earlier which is all but forgotten (except in the
record books).
And in terms of human casualties - the Burns day storm of 1990 was a far
greater disaster.
Still, it was a storm.
A 1 in 250 year event for the UK? I don't think so.
